Camp Out....Almost

By
Last week, we attempted to introduce Leah to the wonders of sleeping beneath the stars.  And by we, I mean Ryan, because though I love camping there's no way I'm going to attempt to "sleep" on the ground right now...  So, Leah put on her finest Ariel costume and helped Ryan set up the tent. 




Then Leah changed from her Ariel costume, to an apron, and there were sparklers!



And S'mores for dessert.



Yes.  Ryan is enjoying both a s'more and a pipe at the same time. 


But, alas, it was just too hot out.  And there was some kind of air advisory that went into effect, so the tent was transported to the basement and Leah's first campout took place in air conditioning.

Oh such fun and Leah is always such a fashion statement! Reminds me of our indoor floor picnics and sleep-outs on the family room floor! Always build such precious memories!

Greetings friends, Thanks to all your prayers and support over these last months, my job search is finally over.  It ended where it began, in the principal's office at Marian High School, a Catholic high school in Mishawaka, IN, about 5 minutes from our house. I will be teaching 11th and 12th grade English-- 4 sections of honors Junior composition, and 1 Senior world literature course.  Both Nicole and I are very excited about this opportunity, as we will now be on the same schedules with breaks and will, of course, have the summers off to travel and visit all of you, our family and friends. I am observing the teacher who is resigning over the next week, and I will begin on my own Monday, November 3, just in time for Nikki to go into labor, necessitating my finding a sub for a week or so?!  Oh well, what can you do? Thanks again to all of you who have prayed earnestly that this challenging time would pass.  We are truly blessed by all of you.

Entertainment

By
Leah is singing, singing, singing these days... Some nights we hear her singing all kinds of songs to herself after we put her to bed. One of her new favorites is "Twinkie Doodle." We tried to teach her how to say "Yankee" for a while and then figured, why bother? We like this Twinkie Doodle character better. The other video is her very first knock knock "joke." Often while I am cooking dinner she hangs out in the kitchen with me, being my helper and entertainment in one.

The Nursery Progression

By
Here are some pictures of the nursery in stages.  The first few show just plain primed walls with painting tape.  The next couple show us starting to paint, followed by the adventure that was putting up the chair rail.  The last photos are finishing the painting, doing some touch ups, and the finished product.  It was a lot of fun, and Nicole's nesting urges were satisfied for the time being.  We're doing a ladybug theme, with the green and pink being the dominant colors. We do have some accents like picture frames, shelves, and hanging baskets that are being painted red.  All we need now is some baby furniture.  Enjoy the photos and comment away.
